HDDVD or Blu-Ray? - GoFuckYourself.com

Evil Chris · 01-18-2008, 12:03 PM

What's your preference?
I'm going to have to go with Blu-Ray.

Ice · 01-18-2008, 12:04 PM

HD-DVD is dead

LB-69 · 01-18-2008, 12:05 PM

Blue Ray is the way of the future, IMHO at least.

CurrentlySober · 01-18-2008, 12:05 PM

Blu Ray FTW!

Topher49er · 01-18-2008, 12:05 PM

Microsoft threw in the towel and said that they will make a device to play BluRay on the XBOX...

Sony wins.

D · 01-18-2008, 12:06 PM

My preference is HD-DVD, because I avoid supporting Sony where able.

But - at least right now - it does look like they've (Sony) won this bout.

Sucks.

Redmanthatcould · 01-18-2008, 12:06 PM

Blu-Ray has all but hit the knock-out punch. Not only did they beat out HD DVD every week, even with the HD DVD player at $100 w/5 free movies...BUT... Warner Bros. is now Blu-Ray exclusive.

Best bet now is to get a PS3...it looks pretty sleek for a home entertainment system, and it plays games too

Evil Chris · 01-18-2008, 12:06 PM

There's been a lot of hype for both over the past few months, but when you start seeing a lot more Blu-Rays hitting the shelves at electronics stores, it starts to become obvious which format is winning the war.

ne0 · 01-18-2008, 12:07 PM

hehe, I remember people hating on blu ray, telling the ps3 was a pos and blabla.

I gave them 3 strikes before I called 'em out.

not to mention - Sony, historically, tries to exclude porn.

Yeah. There are a few, apparently... and more in the works. Initially Sony said no Hardcore on Blu-Ray - but then I reckon common sense kicked in.

I figure Sony's not stupid enough to make the same mistake the made with Beta during the actual format war... but god knows what they're gonna do once there's no going back to HD-DVD.

I'm surprised so many peeps here have been rooting for Sony, given Sony's history with this business.

tony286 · 01-18-2008, 03:08 PM

Actually blu ray is not a superior technology and it was almost 50 -50 the reason they jumped to blu ray was they were offered large chunks of money. Video technology hd boards are very informational

My hd dvd uprezs so nice I dont didnt even watch hd dvd on it.

A) Not true

B) HD-DVD group gave Paramount $150 mil to go HD-DVD exclusive so tell Pot Kettle says he's black.

C) 50 GB per disc > 30GB per disc

now suck some more HD-DVD cock.

Why do ignorant people always associate Sony SOLELY with blu-ray. You do realize that there are MANY companies behind blu-ray. I find it totally ironic that the people hating blu-ray because of Sony and love HD-DVD also love Apple which is part of the blu-ray group, but hate Microsoft which is part of the HD-DVD group.

Where did anyone associate it "solely" with Sony?

It's associated... the horse they were backing. For me, that's enough. I also don't love Apple, nor do I hate Microsoft... but thanks for playing.

Get laid or something. You've had a stick up your ass the size of Shane's cock for at least the last year.

Was I even referring to you solely or even at all? You place way too much importance on yourself.

Sure I should get laid more. Hell I should get laid period. Not much I can do about that now is there? Takes 2 to tango you know. Thanks for the advice though.

Time Warner Cable to Test Internet Caps in Texas

The operator plans to offer four different packages that would cap monthly data downloads at 5, 10, 20 or 40 Gigabytes, according to Time Warner Cable spokesman Alex Dudley. As of yet, there?s no unlimited option planned for the trial. Pricing has not been determined for the tiers, he said.

http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6523660.html

Don?t believe the low bit-rate ?HD? lie

Standard definition 480i DVD movies are typically 5 to 8 mbps (megabits per second) MPEG-2 whereas these so-called HD wannabes weigh in at a pathetic 1.5 to 4 mbps of 720p H.264. Apple?s new HD service is capable of 4 mbps which simply isn?t enough to be considered HD. XBOX360 downloads are 6.8 mbps 720p VC-1 so they?re semi-decent borderline HD. Marketing will push the nicer sounding ?720p? aspect of the video but they don?t tell you it?s way too compressed to offer good video fidelity. Blu-ray has a maximum bit-rate of 40 mbps while HD DVD offers a maximum of 28 mbps. Over the air broadcasts can be up to 19.38 mbps though they?re typically between 16 to 19 mbps.

Why do people think that quoting others and then writing something speaking as if in a response won't be taken as if conversation is directed to the person they quoted?

(See what I did there?)

You quoted me.

What else was I to think? Even if you were speaking in generalities, you were - at the very least -motioning to me as an example of that generality.

Not expecting me to take your words as anything but directed to me doesn't seem... very bright.

Regardless - you weren't directing that "ignorant" shit to me... I guess... so no point in beating a dead horse.

And good luck in the "getting laid" thing - it really does take the edge off.

Well you seem to know a lot about me since you know about my attitude for the last year. So you should know about how I post then, right? I quoted you instead of quoting everyone. Not to mention I go to other broads that have people post the same anti-sony crap. So I was basically making a blanket statement. Most of the time YOU means you in the 3rd person not as in YOU the actual person. What I say may still apply to you, but not just you. If I'm refering to the actual person being quoted only I would usally reference the person with the words FUCKTARD, MORON or IDIOT. I don't believe I did that here.

Don't agree - I receive Sky HD TV through my ADSL connection and BBC HD together with the HD Movie Channels are stunning.

My ADSL is 21 mbs, but the Sky HD TV pushes 3mps, so I'm getting this low quality crappy 720p then. But it's perfectly fine for me...

farkedup · 01-19-2008, 09:00 PM

Everybody associates Sony with Blue-ray simply because the PS3 is the only player selling for it just like most people think of HD-DVD as being mainly backed by Msoft whereas Toshiba has done most of the heavy lifting.

The PS3 if it would have really failed would have tipped things towards HD-DVD but since its been gaining popularity (slowly) blu-ray is simply getting into more houses.

If microsoft would have included a HD-DVD player in the 360 HD-DVD would have won this a long time ago.
